Proton claims multiple times the following on its website:

Your privacy is ensured by strong encryption, open-source code, and Swiss privacy laws.

Open source Proton is an open-source company. All the source code used in our applications is public and freely available for inspection. As a company created by former CERN scientists, we believe strongly that trust is earned through transparency. Anybody can check that our services work as described by reviewing our open-source code. Our privacy claims are also verified through regular audits by independent security experts.

Security through transparency Proton was founded by scientists, and we believe in research, peer review, and transparency. All our apps are open source and independently audited so that anyone can use them, inspect them, and trust them.

If all the source code used in your apps is public and freely available, could you please share the link to the server and api repo here?

Is this the official api https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api ? If yes, maybe the link should be mentioned in these issues: https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/issues/257, https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/issues/12, I thought they are up-to-date. If the backend code is not an issue anymore, you can close my question :-) Maybe someone can clarify briefly?

Hello @baermathias

The reply written in https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/issues/257#issuecomment-964240013 still stands

OK, but then these are false statements on your website and you should change them. Something like the following would be more precise and honest:

Your privacy is ensured by strong encryption, open-source code for the frontend client, and Swiss privacy laws.

Open source frontend client Proton is an open-source company. The frontend client source code used in our applications is public and freely available for inspection. As a company created by former CERN scientists, we believe strongly that trust is earned through transparency. Anybody can check that our frontend client services work as described by reviewing our open-source code for the frontend client. Our privacy claims are also verified through regular audits by independent security experts.
